“All Roma players banned from taking photos with Drake until the end of the season,” as Roma jokingly tweeted in response to the curse that has went viral across media.

The recent example of his curse extends to the loss of French side Paris Saint-Germain by 5-1 to Lille, only a day after defender Layvin Kurzawa posed for a picture with the rapper.

The superstar on his “The Assassination Vacation” of Europe cursed a long list of players, who dropped significant points or went out of the competition after losing the match.

Arsenal forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang attended a Drake concert at The O2 in London three days before his side lost its Premier League game against Everton. Manchester United also made the list, losing to Wolves in the FA cup quarter-final only a while after Romelu Lukaku and Paul Pogba posed for pictures with Drake.

However, just like the red side of Manchester cursed, the blue – Manchester City, wasn’t spared. City’s striker Sergio Aguero gifted Drake with one of his shirts when the duo met in March, and the striker missed a penalty in Champions league against Spurs in the first-leg.

Interestingly, the curse continued in second-leg, with Aguero scoring a goal in dying minutes, only to be flagged-offside moments later, as the team’s dream of becoming European champions once again crashed.

Therefore, with the rapper’s curse causing trouble in the footballing world, it would be spellbinding to find out who will gather the courage to host him next.

Chef Jamie Oliver Hit with Bankruptcy, Shuts Down UK Restaurants

On Tuesday, celebrity Chef Jamie Oliver, who is known for his TV show “The Naked Chef” and dozens of cook books, announced that his restaurant chain has filed for bankruptcy protection.

The anti-junk food campaigner’s empire
laid its foundation in London in 2002 with the restaurant “Fifteen”. He established
the famous “Jamie’s Italian” in 2008. The outlet was opened with emphasis on “casual,
mid-market dining with quality ingredients”.

Out of the 25 restaurants, 22 are in
the administration of the financial firm KPMG. The collapse of the restaurant
chain owned by Jamie Oliver will see as many as 1000 people being unemployed.

Only three outlets at Gatwick
Airport, which comprised of two restaurants and a diner, will continue to work.
The foreign outlets of Jamie’s Italian, Jamie’s Pizzeria and Jamie’s Deli
have not been affected. The Fifteen Cornwall, which operates as franchise, will
also continue to run its course.

The administrator of these restaurant chains, KPMG said, “Both Jamie’s Italian restaurants and his Diner at Gatwick Airport will continue to trade in the short term while the joint administrators explore options for the site.”

Jamie Oliver posted a message on
Twitter, saying: “I’m devastated that our much-loved U.K. restaurants have gone
into administration. I am deeply saddened by this outcome and would like to
thank all of the staff and our suppliers who have put their hearts and souls
into this business over the years.”

The prime reasons behind the closure
of the restaurant chains are increased competition and escalating rents. It is
also reported that Oliver had invested £4 million in the chains this year
alone.

The 43-year-old entrepreneur appreciated
the support of his staff and suppliers who “put their hearts and souls into the
business”.

“I appreciate how difficult this is
for everyone affected. We launched Jamie’s Italian in 2008 with the intention
of positively disrupting mid-market dining in the UK high street, with great
value and much higher quality ingredients, best-in-class animal welfare
standards and an amazing team who shared my passion for great food and service.
And we did exactly that,” Oliver said.

KPMG partner Will Wright made a statement on Tuesday, saying “The current trading environment for companies across the casual dining sector is as tough as I’ve ever seen.” He also said that all the staff of the restaurant chain will be paid till Tuesday.

While the union has requested for the promise that the staff of the restaurant chain of Jamie Oliver be “protected and paid all the money they’re owed, including wages, holiday and redundancy”. One of the staffs of Jaime’s Italian Valentine Balbinot, said, “It was just so devastating, we were not expecting this… it is really brutal.”

sense of isolation can quickly become overriding and debilitating for any new
parent.”

George Clooney Returns to TV with ‘Catch 22’ After Two Decades

Happiness has found epitome for George Clooney’s fans in the form of “Catch-22”. Two decades after the showstopper left medical drama “ER”, Clooney is set to return to television this month, with an adaption of Joseph Heller’s “Catch-22”.

Recipient of Oscar, and well known for his contribution to films like “Syriana”, “Gravity” and “The Monuments Men”, the star portrayed that novel’s complexity made “Catch 22” an ideal choice for him to return to the television screen.

The always flamboyant actor not only worked in the television series, but also directed two episodes of the Hulu series. The plot of the episode is set during a World War Two, where a member of US bomber squadron is seen fighting the high rank officials in the military bureaucracy.

“I thought it was a fun way to tell this story. It’s hard to tell this story as complex as it is in a two-hour movie,” Clooney said at the series premiere in Los Angeles on Tuesday evening. He added, “It’s never been about the medium although television and streaming has gotten much more interesting and more fun, it was more about telling the story. It’s about telling good stories.”

Heller’s 1961 novel, previously been a major motion picture in 1970, revolves around a US bombardier Yossarian, who is livid because army keeps on increasing the number of missions he must accomplish to be relieved of his job.

Yossarian’s only way to escape the missions is to prove insanity. However, in order to do so, he embarks on even more dangerous bombing tasks, thus, giving the story its beautiful, yet absurd persona.

In the series Christopher Abbott stars as Yossarian while Kyle Chandler plays his commander, Colonel Cathcart. Clooney, on the other hand, plays training commander Scheisskopf.

“It’s a heightened piece, it’s satirical, it’s dramatic, it’s harrowing, it’s very funny,” Abbott said. “It kind of lives in a world on its own but I think the themes are kind of universal because they’re really just about the human condition.”

At the premier, George Clooney also made mention of his friend and former actress Meghan Markle, who married Prince Harry and recently gave birth to their first child. Correspondingly, with the fans really excited about “Catch 22”, the series is likely to be a sure-shot hit.
